Abstract

Treatment of the cutting tool with a low-temperature plasma gas discharge formed by the interaction of microwave electromagnetic and electrostatic fields directly around the working part ensures its hardening by changing the values of the parameters that characterize the physical–mechanical and electrophysical properties of the surface layer. This contributes to the prolonged tool life, and results in the improved machinability of materials by cutting according to the criterion of productivity increase. The article presents a study aimed at establishing the rationale leading to such results.
